Dani Alves sentenced to four and a half years in prison for sexual abuse. First, former world-class footballer claimed not to know the person who made the complaint.

Then he talked about consensual sex. Now a court has found him guilty of rape. Alves has the opportunity to appeal the verdict. The reason for the conviction is sexual assault that Alves is said to have committed in the toilet of a nightclub at the end of December. The public prosecutor's office had demanded a nine-year prison sentence.
